India is getting more powerful and can hit terror networks on this side of the border as well as across it if the need arises, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said on June 26, asserting that the world has understood the meaning of zero tolerance for terrorism through the country’s actions.
“Pulwama and Uri were both unfortunate incidents… The Prime Minister took just 10 minutes to take a decision (on carrying out surgical strikes) which shows his strong willpower. Our forces not only neutralised the terrorists on this side but also went across the border to finish them off,” Mr. Singh said.
Addressing a National Security Conclave held at the University of Jammu, the Minister stressed that the world, including Muslim countries, is united against terrorism. He said cash-strapped Pakistan would achieve nothing by “parroting Kashmir” and should instead put its house in order.
